  • I live here too but I don’t have a personal perspective on the kind of move you’re thinking of making.

    What I can suggest is there is plenty of data to help you inform your decision.

    Here’s a map of crimes in the UK so you can input a place you’re thinking of moving to and what the crime rate is like in the area (and the nature of the crime).

    Guns aren’t a fear here. Yes you can get a shotgun or an air rifle but no automatic weapons, there’s a lot of regulation, checks, and requirements. Even with gangs in major cities, you’ve not much to fear about. And even knife crime pales in comparison to the states. I’ve lived in some of the most dangerous areas and I’ve been fine. With a young woman in your family, common sense, staying to well lit areas etc and they’ll be fine.

    Schools are inspected by a government agency called Ofsted so you can look to what specific area of a place you’d want to move to to be in the catchment area of a decent school.

    The government department, the Office for National Statistics, has a map that shows where areas of household deprivation are by percentage of population in the area. In general, the higher the percentage on the map, the more affluent the average person is in an area. This correlates with crime so you would be better to find a less deprived area if you’ve a young family.

    Flooding can be a risk so you can look for long term flood risk areas here and historic flooding areas here.

    And naturally, it would be best to look for a job first as, especially if you’re looking at senior or executive positions, the org may help you with visas and relocating.







  • They’re still not distinct vulnerabilities. They’re the same vulnerabilities across different products and versions. Others in the thread immediately misunderstood what the table was presenting.

    Cvedetails was far better (albeit uglier) in the past before Security Scorecard took over the brand / domains.

    Another fundamental mistake Security Scorecard are making is that they don’t understand the data they’re trying to visualise, group, and rank. Debian, for instance, do a stellar job and enumerate any version of their product that has a vulnerable package in their repos even if it’s nothing to do with the actual operating system whereas Apple don’t enumerate vulnerable App Store apps in the same way nor do many other Linux distributions which have their own repos of packaged FOSS apps.

    What thus results in is Debian getting tabulated to look like they’re doing something really wrong with the number of vulns they’re enumerating whereas it’s actually exceptionally awesome that they do. This kind of junk “Top x” just incentivises other distributions to not put in get hard work and provide CPE codes for their distro’s package repos.
